PROCEEDING REPORT OF SEMINAR DATE: 19TH January 2019

One Day GUJCOST sponsored National Seminar was organized by ROFEL Shri G.M. Bilakhia

College of Pharmacy, Vapi. The theme of the workshop was “”Learning Outcomes Based

Pharmacy Education and its Applications. This Seminar was organized to understand the

basic concepts underlying the Outcome Based Education (OBE) and to expose the use of

alternative/ active learning processes. For maximizing the benefits, certain OBE principles have to

be adhered while designing the curriculum, new ways of teaching should be implemented in the

classroom and outside, active learning excercises must be designed and successfully implemented.

Assessment in OBE is checking whether the outcomes written at the starting of the semester have

been realised or not, if realised, then, to what extent. To do that, what are the methods faculty

should use inside and outside the classroom is an area for discussion. Setting active learning

exercise to realize an outcome where students will do and learn rather than listen and learn is

extremely important for outcome realisation. A total number of 120 delegates participated in this

seminar. The program schedule was as follows:
